Alltclicll’s Gunboat.
We learn from a participant in tho
scene, that star-gazing Mitchell's gun
boat ruy into a masked battery, a few
day* ago on Tennessee river. Anumber
of rangers and citizens hail been watch
ing tliis craft for some days, and finally
arranged nn ambuscade on the river
some distance above Huntersville, when
site was procecdiiig lazily along, on a
chicken-steoling expedition, ut tho late
of about two miles an hour, the men
basking in the sunshine totally uncon
seious of the dangerous proximity, and
when about tho center of tho lino of
ambush, a fire, of rifies and shot-guns
was opened on them, which killed sev
enteen and wounded eight! The boat
steamed across the river and opened a
file with her guns, but only damaged
tlie trees.
We have heard of a number of instan
ces where small parties of the enemy
out mnuraJing, in the vicinity of
Huntsville, had been attacked and do-
strayed, and shooting pickets is an eve
vy-day affair.

that tlie Confederates gained a brilliant

killed and 3,000 wounded; and lays

Johnie was an amiable child. Those
who knew him well, feel sensibly his
loss. His parents havo been deprived
of one of those brightest jewels Why
should they grieve 7—they know that
ho is enjoying the smiles of that dear
Saviour, of whom they delight to hear
nnd read. Wo know that he is an in
habitant of Heaven, and an Angel
around the throne on high. His voice
will no longer be heard—his ear will
never again be greeted by voices of
affection and love, Johnie was truly
the delight and opmfert of bis parents,
We deeply sjtqpathu*with the bereav
ed parents.
Thou art gone to the grave—we no

Siuco God was thy ransom, thy guar,

He gave thee, He took thee and Ha
will restore-tbeo.
Tho’ sorrow and darkness encompass

Johnie lived a life to bo admired,
And died a death to be desired.
A Friend.
In tho hospital at Standardsvillo, Va.,
on the 23d ult., of typhoid-pneumonia,
in the 21st year ot his age, John B.
Harrison, a son of Mrs. C. C. Harri
son or this comity, who, in the short
space ef 18 days has been bereft of two
sons, whose lives havo been giren in
defence of their country, and though
they were deprived of tho tender oaro
of n mother’s solioitudo in their last
moments, this consolation iT-left the
surviving friends, that God was with
thorn, and kind comrades administered
to ovory want.
John, like his brother Frank, was-a
good nnd dutiful cliild—his mother’s
will was his pleasure, and her happi
ness his delight. To provide for his
mother and family was his first duty
after the war broke out—this done, he
hastened to join his brother in the ser
vice of his country, by attaobiug him
self to the "Floyd Sharp Shooters,”
in which capacity he discharged his
whole.duty. His brother’s society wn3
preferred to that of any or all of his
comrades. United in life, they were
not separated in death. Their reward
is in the presence of tho widow nnd
orphan’s God.
